Thanks. I really wanted to avoid the .TH first so I ended up modifying
an-old.tmac and just using that. But your way is nice and taught me
why .nop exists.
One problem that is making me scratch my head is that running a number of
man pages through groff -Tascii is doing some sort of vertical space
that causes the tail of one man page to overlap the head of the next
one. Consider this:
cat > test <<EOF
.TH command 1 date company manual
.SH NAME
command \- do something
.SH CATEGORY
.B Something
.TH foo 1 bar blech snafu
.SH NAME
foofrog \- do something else
.SH CATEGORY
.B XYZ
EOF
and then do this
groff -Tascii -man test
command(1) manual command(1)
NAME
command - do something
CATEGORY
foo(1) snafu foo(1)
Something
NAME
foofrog - do something else
CATEGORY
XYZ
blech bar foo(1)
What I would expect to see is this:
command(1) manual command(1)
NAME
command - do something
CATEGORY
Something
company date command(1)
foo(1) snafu foo(1)
NAME
foofrog - do something else
CATEGORY
XYZ
blech bar foo(1)
Any ideas?
